I have been reading what everyone wrote and it got me thinking how lucky I really am.. Back in 1981-83 I was working the streets of Vancouver near Broughton(sp) and Davies, I was 23 or 22 at the time. I don;t know why I was doing it but I was careful about who I got into the car with,, Many girls came and went and usually you did not know them for long.. We used to warn each other about certain johns and I remember being told to watch out for a large green car because that person had a knife and the girls did not come back. Makes me wonder..
Now I live in another city and I am over 50.. but those times have left an indelible mark in my life. I still have major self esteem problems and find i hard to be close to people.I don't know if I can ever let myself get close.. I have two failed marriages and am now on my own again.. most of my ex's have had drinking problems of one sort or another..  for obvious reason I have not left my email but I want to thank you for finally saying this.. I have never told anyone before

We have just released a very important book on this subject. It is called: Torn from our Midst Please visit:http://cprcpress.ca/publications/Torn-from-Our-Midst for more information. Here is a little bit about the book: The anger, grief, courage, compassion, and hope we hear in these voices inspire and compel us -- to remember those who are missing and to work for healing and justice. Since 1980, more than 520 Aboriginal women have been reported missing or murdered in Canada. From 1993-2003, 370 women were murdered in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico. Since 2001, more than 2,000 Guatemalan women and girls have been brutally murdered. Responding to the profound tragedy inherent in these statistics, more than 300 women and men gathered in August 2008 at a conference entitled Missing Women: Decolonization, Third Wave Feminisms, and Indigenous People of Canada and Mexico. Here, personal stories and theoretical tools were brought together, as academics, activists, family members of missing and murdered women, police, media, policy-makers, justice workers, and members of faith communities offered their perspectives on the issue of racialized, sexualized violence.

It is so sad that so many women have gone missing. It is sad that the world is full of monsters, men who prey on women. Thank you for keeping this issue alive. Abdalla Hawatmeh

Today I have ridden a book about the missing women, "Les disparues de Vancouver" , wrote by a french woman autor, Elise Fontenaille. This book is very interesting, it defends the prostitutes, who are women like every women, to gives us different point of view about the victims (Sarah's journal) , women's families, women's friends, policeman ... I am very touched by this book and it's revolting that the police has do nothing concerning this story !!

When I have watch the Olympic Games on the TV this winter, I had not never imagine a such horror can happen in this nice city. Now we hope the police move for disappearences of poor people stop.

I'm reading a book by a french writer about des missing women of downtown eastside. I remember that I heard at TV news the arrest of Vancouver's serial killer. I think that his important that some people had continued to looking for these girls even if the police didn't care about them. These girls were not only junkies and prostitutes; they were human being. Thank  you for never giving up.

   I read " Greene `s" book called `Bad Date". It hit me like a brick wall. I was on the streets for 4 yrs, in Edmonton, AB. I `panhandled` and did `sex trade work` to pay for drug habit. I went into treatment a year & 1 month ago. I had a relapse about a month ago. For fear of ending back where I was I moved to Winnipeg to live with my sober family. My sister here has been sober for 3 yrs. She was in & out of prison, & was a sex trade worker for 20 yrs ( she is only 35). When I moved here she became my support. We need each other so much. We both grew up in seperate foster homes. Now is our chance to know one another. She handed me "greene`s" book a couple of days ago. I pray for those missings girls. There stories have touched my hearts. Georgina Papin`s niece was in my treament house in Edmonton. turns out my sister also knew Georgina here in Winnipeg. Those family`s loss, I`m sorry to say is my motivation to stay sober & do something with my life. Thank you & GOD BLESS !!!!
